Sunnyhillboy Odds and Grand National Form 2013
Sunnyhillboy finally justified the obvious high opinion the stable hold him in when taking the Kim Muir at the 2012 Cheltenham Festival but the gelding probably owed his connections a few bob after previously being backed into favouritism for the 2010 Byrne Plate and the 2011 William Hill Chase at the Festival as well as the Irish National without delivering.
After his Cheltenham success Sunnyhillboy was sent off 16/1 for the Grand National in 2012 where he would undoubtedly been a shorter price had he not been passed over by JP McManus’ retained jockey, AP McCoy.
Sunnyhillboy went on to go agonisingly close to winning the 2012 Grand National losing out by a nose to Neptune Collonges in a breathtaking finish. Trainer Jonjo O’Neill had previously stated that he thought his charge might need a bit of cut in the ground for a race like the National to help him with his jumping which has been a problem at times in the past (his round of jumping before falling in the 2011 William Hill was x-rated). O’Neill had also voiced concerns over the horse’s size for a race such as the Grand National but these reservations proved unfounded as he really should have won but for wandering around on the run-in.
Unfortunately that might have been Sunnyhillboy’s best chance to win a Grand National as he now sits on a ten pound higher mark than he ran from at Aintree. If there is a concern about his size lugging a bigger weight around Aintree will not be easy.
